Just voted.

+1 for brexit.

Fark the status quo.

It is ridiculous that all the 120 Indians that have been on shored on my project for a few months and don't pay tax in the UK are allowed to vote and the EU citizen that pay tax for many years are not

Isn't it a wonder of the Commonwealth of Nations?

Foreign voters HAVE been wrongly sent polling cards for the EU referendum | Daily Mail Online

Go on NAT you know you want to...

He could be a Red Indian and they're not part of the Commonwealth anymore...

Unless Canadian First Nation.

Commonwealth citizens resident in UK are eligible to vote, just as in General Elections.

Looking that way.

One of my Indian colleagues just told me they have a voting card.

God, not John Major again. I thought he'd retired!

What will stop them voting? I don't think they do passport checks these days!

You need to have your name on the list on the day. So there's still some time to weed out the non-entitled foreigners in theory, but I don't know if they have that information on the electoral role.

A bit of a cock-up. Cancel the referendum!

Having a voting card doesn't mean you get to vote.

Quite funny though.

Looks like the Bremainers can relax, it's all being rigged anyway.

Will the completed forms be retained for some time, for further examination in the event of challenges, or a possible recount if the result is very close?

Or am I being hopelessly naive, and they'll all be shredded and burned the very next day (if Remain wins) ?

I'm in a few facebookgroups where non British (nor Irish or Commonwealth) EU citizen confirmed they received a polling card, some even put them online. Some are saying that they get cards for national Westminster elections as well and they just vote, no one asks for an ID confirming citizenship at the polling station.
Non British (and Irish) EU citizen are allowed to vote in local and European elections in the UK but not in national

Better send in the OSCE as election observers as obviously there is fraud going on. If you have evidence of this then I hope you're reporting it to the Electoral Commission otherwise I don't believe you

Actually they asked neither. They asked the residents. Last a I checked there's no that many Scottish folk in Edinburgh.

Fair point well made.
